MONDAY, MARCH 23, 2020
What we know right now: Happy Monday! I hope you are all staying safe, well, and adequately socially distanced. :-) As most of you may have already seen, Hamilton County has decided to stay closed through the end of our originally scheduled spring break, which would put us back at school on April 13. Please note: Spring Break, April 3-April 10, will be a break from online learning and no assignments will be posted on Google Classroom during those dates. As of this moment, no changes have been made to the TCAP/TNReady testing schedule and currently expect to begin the week of April 20. As with everything so far, this is subject to change. We expect updates to come in daily and I will pass those along as we receive them. I understand 100% that being in a state of unknown isn’t ideal but this is really an unprecedented situation and every school and state in the country is trying to figure it out as we go...it’s just not something that could’ve ever been predicted.
Availability: Teachers will be available during school hours to answer any questions you may have regarding assignments, schedules, etc. All instruction will be delivered to your children remotely via Google Classroom. We are also aware that not all families have access to digital resources and we will work with you to accomodate your needs. Printed packets will be available for pickup at Apison for those without digital resources at home.
Assignments: Please see the checklist of assignments posted under your teacher's page on this website or on Google Classroom.
